Jackman will play four shows in the UK next year during his The Man. The Music. The Show., tour including two dates at the O2 Arena in London – he will also be touring Europe and North America next year.

Despite lacklustre reviews from critics, The Greatest Showman was a box office success and its soundtrack remains in the UK album top five nearly a year after its release.

In both the UK and America it reached multi-platinum status, selling more than two million copies apiece.

Jackman's musical credits include his rendition of 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway and Les Miserables, the film based on the musical, itself based on the Victor Hugo novel of the same name.

On stage, he will be accompanied by a full orchestra who will help him guide the audience through songs from his musical films as well as show tune classics.
